Episode: 218. Chocolate Chips & Relaxed Quantum Dots ft. Armando Rastelli I Pranoti Kshirsagar
Description: Summary
Armando Rastelli, a professor at the Institute of Semiconductor and Solid-State Physics at Johannes Kepler University, discusses his research on quantum dots. Quantum dots are tiny semiconductor particles with unique optical and electronic properties. They are typically around 5 nanometers in size and can be shaped like bumps or slices. Quantum dots have various applications, including in optoelectronics and secure communication. Armando's research focuses on epitaxial quantum dots, which are grown on a substrate, and colloidal quantum dots, which are suspended in a solution. He shares his career journey and highlights the importance of collaboration in the...
